Some of the finer points of the cover design:
*Keen eyes will instantly recognise the design as a homage to the original Real Ghostbusters promo artwork.
*This will probably be the first comic since The Real Ghostbusters Starring in Ghostbusters II to directly acknowledge Ghostbusters II, featuring Dan's take on the Ecto-1A.
*Winston's Proton Pistol from Infestation has also returned.
I'm quite sure about “the first to acknowledge GB2”. RGB#16 pretty directly addressed and dismissed the Janine/Louis debacle, Tokyopop's book had Jack Hardemeyer in it, and I'm sure Vigo has been namedropped a time or two. The first comic to directly acknowledge ECTO-1A, yes.

You're right, blast my time withered memory. Thanks for the reminder, Fritz.

Here's a question: does anyone know if IDW offers subscriptions? I can't find any offer on their site and this is something I'd definitely subscribe to. We will probably never see a Ghostbusters 3, but this is the next best thing!!!

In all honesty, you're better off finding your nearest comic book store and ordering it through them. Books like these only survive through pre-orders and continued support from that point on.

Interesting the art style is in the style of the characterised “cartoony look” from the GB video games lower end releases (Wii, PSP, PS2). This art team was the same guys that did the last one shot from ID4 or was it the Xmas one shot (my memory's just so off at the moment)? I look forward to this ongoing. I've enjoyed the one shots very much. The 2nd mini series from them “Displaced Aggression” wasn't so bad. All these were vast improvements compared to their first effort “The Other Side” mini.

The Wii, PSP, PS2 versions of the game were influenced by Dan's artwork, the comic isn't influenced by the game… the game designers took substantial inspiration from the artwork Dan had created, without crediting him.

That still amazes and astounds me that they did that. Honestly, can't he sue for that?

Dan contacted them in order to seek a “all-win” resolution, but sadly none came about… despite that, I get the vibe that Dan's too decent to descend to a lawsuit… it'd also be difficult due to the fact it'd be built around art based on a copyrighted property.
